Meanwhile, Suprefan feigns an inability to deduce so as to cover up his most recent shortfalls. I submit this as an endorsement towards a Kickstarter for which to raise money to purchase a Fleshlight for Suprefan so that his constant wanks can stop spraying the board.

Re: Olympics 2012

It still amazes me when people see PDT during the summer months and wonder if it's a typo that should in fact say PST. Please educate yourself on time zones people.

Anyways back to Olympics. I watched both the Walsh/May and Kessy/Ross matches live, and those were fantastic matches. Really glad that they are both playing for the gold medal and that USA gets the 1-2 on the podium. Really hope Walsh/May beat the Kessy/Ross for a 3rd straight gold medal, great way to finish their careers on top.

MST is what you were looking for, actually (Mountain Standard Time).

EDIT: actually I might be wrong given the above post and my looking at wikipedia, though, many postings online are posting times of MST. MT is probably the most correct given it ignores winter/summer time zone bullshit, but it actually stands for "mountain time" and is not an abbreviation.

Re: Olympics 2012

WTF!?!?!? Is that a big thing in international b-ball? Melo got hit in the nuts too.

You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway, shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.

Re: Olympics 2012

Batum, a member of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, was later asked by Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski why he hit Navarro, and he said, "I wanted to give him a good reason to flop."

HAHA.. Like a Boss.

The US were actually a bit lucky today, as if Japan had been more clinical with their finishing (like the US was) they would probably have won, but it was a fantastic game and the US team should feel really proud of their display through the entire tournament. The Men's Gold Medal Game on Saturday should be a good one as well.

Trey Hardee, the US decathlete who according to NBC's prime time coverage is in 2nd place in the decathlon... if I didn't know better, I'd say that dude looks like a guy that either 1) takes steroids or something VERY pro-hormone, b) LOVES his coke, or iii) Both? Dude was jacked up on something... not natural.

TeSi Se Pudo!!! Congrats to to Mexican Futol team on their Gold medal. Great match.

Re: Olympics 2012

Mexico's defense was spectacular throughout the entire game, although the Brazilians really have no one but themselves to blame for the loss. Two mental errors lead to each of the goals they conceded, and I felt they were rather wasteful in the final third. I can't believe Oscar put that 93rd minute header over the bar!
